Abstract
Provided is a display method of a dual standby portable terminal, which includes checking a connection state of a switching unit, when a main controller senses an event; displaying data corresponding to the event to a display unit by the main controller, when the main controller is connected with the display unit; and connecting the display unit with a sub-controller, when control information is received from the sub-controller.
Claims20
A display method of a dual standby portable terminal comprising a main controller, a sub-controller and a display unit, the method comprising;
- checking a connection state of a switching unit, when the main controller senses an event;
- displaying data corresponding to the event to the display unit by the main controller, when the main controller is connected with the display unit;
- and
- connecting the display unit with the sub-controller, when control information is received at the main controller from the sub-controller.
A dual standby portable terminal, comprising:
- a switching unit which switches a connection of a display unit according to a control signal for switching the connection of a display unit;
- a sub-controller which transmits control information to a main controller, and displays data corresponding to an event to the display unit in case of being connected to the display unit;
- and
- a main controller which transmits the control signal for switching the connection of the display unit to the sub-controller to the switching unit, when the control information is received from the sub-controller.
An apparatus for managing a display screen in a dual standby terminal comprising:
- a first processor in communication with a first memory, the first memory including code which when accessed by the processor causes the processor to:
- receiving an first event from a receiving system associated with a first communication system;
- a second processor in communication with a second memory, the second memory including code which when accessed by the processor causes the processor to:
- receiving an second event from a receiving system associated with a second communication system;
- a display unit for displaying information associated with at least one of the first event and the second event;
- a switching unit, receiving control inputs from the first processor;
- for switching an input of the display between an output of each of the first and second processors, and
- a dual-port RAM, in communication with the first and second processors, wherein control information in the dual-port RAM causes the switch to create a path between the second processor and the display unit.
